ADULT: Price is Right Contestant Costume

I LOVE the game show, The Price is Right, and thus, I heart this genius DIY costume idea! The B-Side blog wore a Dartmouth sweatshirt and used foam board to create his Price is Right screen. Use ribbon or string to tie the board around your neck, like a giant necklace. And your all ready to “Come on down to contestant’s row!” This DIY Price is Right contestant costume would make Bob Barker proud.

ADULTS: DIY mermaid costume

Chelsea from Buy me Love and her hubs are Halloween costume making pros! They participate in a fun church event called Trunk or treat and dress up and decorate the trunk of the truck to hand out candy to the kiddos (or anyone who wants it)! Chelsea made herself a DIY mermaid costume and her turned her trunk into a shell… genius! Chelsea said, “I made my ear “fins” from floral wire and tulle, and meticulously hand sewed sequins. I wore a nude tank top and pinned my hand sewn shells on. Then I sewed a fin, using a skirt as a pattern, and added tulle fins. I was covered in glitter and blue and green makeup, and found that delightfully tacky wig at Goodwill. Don’t worry – it was new and unused!”
